Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1873, by 
BARCLAY & CO., 
In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. 



PREFACE. 



f GYPT, the ancient, home of dreams and wonders, the oldest 
land of culture and science, the land where Joseph interpreted 
Pharaoh's dreams (Gen. xli.), is also the home or birth-place 
of our little work, where it was written by ancient inter- 
preters many centuries ago. It went through the hands of 
many powerful rulers of the different Egyptian dynasties, till it came 
into the possession of Mehemet Ali, who made use of the same during 
the whole time of his successful reign (1806-1844). 

A friend of our German and English translator, a well-known cor- 
respondent at Berlin, who visited Egypt when the Suez Canal was 
opened, obtained the work out of the Library of the royal palace, at 
Cairo. In Berlin it was translated into the German language, and a 
copy was sent to our translator, who gives the same in English, add- 
ing to it the lucky numbers which will draw the richest prizes in lot- 
teries, etc. This is an advantage possessed by no other dream-book 
ever before published in this country. It contains the interpretations 
of more than 3000 dreams and over 2000 propitious numbers. This 
publication is the most complete that has ever made an appearance in 
the New World, and its value is increased by the originality directly 
derived from the old Egyptian manuscript. 

" There is some reality in dreams," says an old proverb, and this is 
proved by thousands of examples. In the Bible we read about many 
cases of manifestation by dreams; viz., Gen. chap, xxviii., xxxvii., xl., 

xli., an I even in the New Testament, Matt, i. 20; Matt. ii. 12, 13; 

19 



20 PREFACE. 

Acts ix. 10, and many other places. Cicero, the greatest Greek phi- 
losopher and statesman, reported several remarkable dreams which in 
reality afterwards were fulfilled; and similar statements were made by 
many other great and prominent persons. But there are certain kinds 
of dreams which generally are considered as mere play of imagination ; 
the real meaning of these, however, is given figuratively and emblem- 
atically, and to explain this meaning is especially the object of this 
little work. 

The numbers which are added, amounting to over 2000, have, as 
stated in thousands of cases, always drawn valuable prizes in lotteries 
or on other similar occasions, and in many instances even the richest 
prizes have been acquired by their use. 

The Appendix contains: — 
A List of Dreams, with three lucky numbers attached to each dream. 
Lists of Names (for Ladies and Gentlemen), with three lucky numbers 

attached to each name. 
A List of Letters, with three lucky numbers attached to each letter, 

and 
A List of Unlucky Days, for males and females born on them. 

We hope our publication will meet with the heartiest welcome 
among the public in general, and with a large increase of circulation 
on account of its cheapness in comparison with its great value and 
completeness.

PREFACE 



I HE old manuscript of the " Wheel of Fortune," as stated by competent 
authorities, is to be found in the private Cabinet of Curiosities of the 
Count Bismarck, and seems to have been written many centuries ago. 
^ Some believe that the great success in the life and career of Bismarck 
is owing to his consultation of the "Wheel of Fortune;" but about 
this point we have no positive proofs, except his successful deeds, which 
made him the greatest man of the century. But in his family, at his 
country residence, there it was often seen and frequently consulted, and 
the Count, to the amusement of his family, was sometimes asking himself 
a question to be answered by the u Wheel of Fortune." 

This oraculum has been tried several times, and its answers, though 
it may seem incredible, were always found in keeping with the events that 
they predicted; they were indeed "Answers of Destiny." These astonish- 
ing circumstances induced the Publishers to give the benefit of its use to 
the whole world. For believers it will be a sacred treasure, and in many 
instances of their lives, of great value ; and even for non-believing persons, it 
will furnish much amusement, on account of its often funny and sarcastic 
answers upon the different questions. It will help to pass away some 
tedious hours in life, and will in reality serve as an amusing companion. 

The "Miscellaneous Department " contains : — The Art of Fortune-telling 
by Physiognomy, Phrenology, Astrology and Celestial Prognostication, also k 
by Cards, Dominoes, and Dice ; Signs, Charms, Talismans, Spells, etc., etc. 

The intention of the Publishers is to give a great variety for a very low 
price, and they hope that this publication. will receive a hearty welcome by 
the public in general. 

THE PUBLISHERS. 



DIRECTIONS 



USE OF THE "WHEEL OF FORTUNE." 



I HERE are Thirty-six Questions upon which the " Wheel of Fortune" 
will give certain and plain Answers. 
At first, choose the question upon which you wish to obtain an an- 
J swer, and keep the number of the same in mind. Then make one throw 
with three dice, and count the number of the eyes. In the u Astrological 
Oraculum, or Table of Mysteries and Wonders " we find in the first line the 
number of the question, and in the first row downward the* number of the 
dice thrown ; whereupon we follow with the finger of the right hand the 
number of the question downward, and with the finger of the left hand the 
number of the dice from the left to the right side, till both connect in one 
of the figured squares. The figure of the same will give the number of the 
Astrological Kegent under which the answer upon the question will be 
found. 

FOR EXAMPLE. 

If we wish to obtain an answer upon the question numbered 19, " Shall I 
be married, or not? " and the number of the dice thrown is 7; then we have 
to follow with the finger of the right hand from figure 19 in the top line j 
of the table downward, and with the finger of the left hand from numbej 
in the front row to the right till both meet in the square figured 4. 
figure is the number of the Astrological Begent ; and we have to look ! 
under the Fourth Astrological Kegent — "The Sun"— where we, 
figure 7 (the number of the dice thrown), find the following answd| 
1 w The proposed marriage will bring fortune and happiness to you ; the 1 
fore do not hesitate any longer." 

In this manner we receive an answer upon every question asked. 

Now, farewell, dear reader; and be happy and merry at the play and use 

of the 

"WHEEL OF FORTUNE."

THE ART OF FORTUNE-TELLING BY PHYSIOGNOMY. 



THE outward figure and form of the man are forced to a resemblance of 
the internal model, and the dispositions of the heart are almost invariably 
depicted on the countenance ; and so intimate is their correspondence, that 
the expression of the countenance, more rapid than speech, betrays his 
sentiments and emotions, and gives to his utterance energy and animation. 
The one was designed as a mirror, in which we might behold the other 
reflected. These facts were observed and verified, and such was the origin 
of Physiognomy. 

The following is an analysis of the various parts which compose the 
human visage, in such positions only as are supported by reasons deduced 
from physical science. 

THE HEAD. 

A large head, with a small triangular forehead, denotes a total want of 
understanding, 

If the skull be loaded with fat and flesh, this is usually an indication of a 
shallow mind ; much more if, at the same time, it be small and round— it 
then denotes stupidity. 

Where the occiput, that is, the back part of the skull, is compressed, or 
rather where it exhibits a cavity, it is a sign of a weak mind, sometime:* 
stubborn, and always contracted. 

THE FOREHEAD. 

It is by the, shape and size of the forehead that we are to judge of the 
extent of a man's understanding. 

A gently arched forehead, without a single angle, evinces a mild disposi- 
tion ; and often, that a man is destitute of energy. 

A smooth, open forehead indicates peace of mind ; when it is wrinkled 
and furrowed, it announces stormy passions, perturbation of mind and old 
age ; bnt in the latter instance, the wrinkles are more regular, less broken, 
and do not approach so near the eyes. 

The upper part of the forehead only being wrinkled gives to the visage a 
look of amazement, which sometimes approaches to folly. 

Perpendicular wrinkles on the forehead give promise of great energy and 
application ; but the contrary when they are cut transversely by others. 

A forehead full of irregular protuberances is characteristic of a choleric 
temperament. 

When we meet with horizontal lines at the junction of the nose and fore- 
head, we may expect a harsh and unfeeling disposition. 

Deep perpendicular incisions between the eyebrows, are evidences of 
strength of mind, provided they be not counterbalanced by other indica- 
tions of a positively contrary import. 

When the frontal vein appears distinctly in the midst of a forehead, open, 
uniform, and regularly arched, it announces extraordinary talent. 

Whrxn the forehead is perfectly perpendicular, from the hair to the eye- 

119 



120 MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. 

"brows, it denotes an utter deficiency of understanding ; but if it be at the 
same time arched towards the summit, it furnishes an indication of a pro- 
found, reflecting, cool mind. 

When the forehead is rounded and projecting, as is the case with the 
generality of infants, it evinces a weak mind ; if it projects very much, then 
it betrays the utmost degree of stupidity. 

If it is rounding towards the summit, with a slight projection, and then 
descending in a straight line, it shows great judgment, an irritable disposi- 
tion, but a heart of ice ; a forehead of this description is frequently charac- 
teristic of melancholy. 

A narrow forehead is usually the sign of a fro ward disposition. 

If it incline backward, we may then anticipate rashness and want of 
reflection, especially if there be no very remarkable jutting of the bones of 
the eyes. 

A high forehead is a mark of capriciousness. 

Should the bone of the eye be projecting and plainly marked, this desig- 
nates aptness for mental exertion. 

THE EYEBROWS. 

Small eyebrows always accompany a phlegmatic temperament. 

If horizontal, they betoken a masculine and vigorous character. 

When they are partly horizontal and partly curved, they denote energy 
and ingenuity. 

If situated very high, they almost always evince a person incapable of 
reflection. 

A wide space between the two eyebrows, designates a quick apprehension, 
a calm and tranquil soul. 

The nearer they approach the eyes, the stronger is the assurance they give 
of solidity and reflection. 

Angular, discontinuous eyebrows, mark an inventive genius. 

When uneven and disordered, they are proofs of great vivacity. 

Full, compact, well-disposed, and symmetrical eyebrows are almost always 
indicative of solidity of judgment, and of clear, sound sense. 

THE EYES. 

It is peculiarly the province of the eyes to declare the emotions of the soul, 
and to exhibit the workings of sentiment and passion. 

Blue eyes are frequently found in persons of phlegmatic character ; they 
are often indications of feebleness and effeminacy. 

Black eyes portend energy. 

If gray, they often mark a choleric disposition ; in such case, the lids are 
red, drawn back and sunken. 

Hazel or brown eyes indicate vivacity and affability. 

When the extremity near the nose is acute it denotes cunning and finesse. 

If the upper eyelid cross diametrically the ball of the eye, it is a sign of 
subtlety and cunning. 

THE NOSE. 

The nose is not a feature capable of conveying much expression ; yet its 
form and relative position, in respect of other parts of the face, furnish 
some characteristics. 

An aquiline nose designates an imperious temper, and ardent passions. 

A nose, the ridge of which is large, denotes a mind endowed with quali- 
ties of a high order. 

When the sides of the nose are fexible, and perfectly disconnected, it 
betrays a proneness to sensuality. 

A nose curved at the root, announces a personage born to command, firm 
in his purposes, and ardent in the pursuit. 

Small nostrils disclose timidity of soul. 

A sharp pointed nose is characteristic of a passionate man. 



MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. 121 

THE MOUTH. 

The mouth is the most expressive feature of the face ; it is peculiarly the 
index to the discovery of character, and almost always represents the nature 
and disposition of the man ; so delicate are the shades and varieties of 
which it is susceptible, that it would be impossible to describe them with 
precision. 

If the lips are thick and fleshy, this is a sign of sensuality and of slothf ill- 
ness ; it is always a characteristic of a phlegmatic temper. 

A mouth frequently shut, lips closed, and strongly marked, appertain to 
the avaricious. 

When the lower lip projects beyond the upper, it denotes negative good- 
ness. 

A closed mouth concealing the edge of the lips betokens a person of appli- 
cation, and inclined to regularity and neatness ; but if, at the same time, it 
turns up at the extremities, then it expresses affectation, arrogance, vanity, 
and malignity. 

A large interval between the mouth and nose indicates want of prudence. 

Full, distinct, and well-proportioned lips, designate a character hostile to 
falsehood, villany and baseness, but with a propensity of pleasure. 

THE CHIN". 

An advancing, projecting chin, is always a declaration of energy. 
When pointed, it often denotes craft. 

Should it on the other hand recede, it then indicates a character destitute 
of firmness. 
When it is angular, it betokens a sensible mind, and a benevolent heart. 
A flat chin announces coolness of temper. 
A smooth, fleshy, double chin, is indicative of sensuality. 
A small chin is characteristic of timidity. 
A round dimple chin is a sign of good nature. 

THE CHEEKS. 

Fleshy cheeks denote a proneness to sensuality. 

Should we discover in them a certain triangular hollow, it is an infallible 
sign of envy and jealousy. 
Large and coarse furrows bear the impression of ill-nature and brutality. 

THE HAIR. 

Short, black, coarse, curly hair evinces a character somewhat irritable,, 
and often shows it to be devoid of sensibility. 

But light, soft hair is evidence of a contrary disposition, and almost 
always denotes gentleness. 

A striking contrast between the color of a man's hair and his eyebrows 
should excite suspicion. 

THE NECK. 

A long neck is declaratory of gentleness. 

When short and thick, especially if the veins should be very conspicuous, 
it is an indication of a passionate man.

124 MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. 

DIRECTIONS. 

The conditions which most generally modify the effects of size are, the 
particular constitutional temperament, the particular combination of the 
mental organs, and their exercise. 

There are four temperaments, accompanied with different degrees of 
activity of the brain. The first, or lymphatic, is distinguishable by a round 
form of the body, softness of muscle, pale, thick skin, thick lips, and fair 
hair. It is attended with languid movements, and weak and slow circula- 
tion of the blood. The brain, as a part of the system, is also slow, languid 
and feeble in its action, and the mental manifestations are proportionally 
weak. 

The second, or sanguine constitution, is indicated by a well-defined body, 
moderate plumpness of person, tolerable firmness of flesh, light hair, inclin- 
ing to chestnut, blue eyes, fair complexion, ruddy countenance, activity of 
the blood-vessels, fondness for exercise, and animated countenance. The 
brain partakes of the general state, and is active. 

The third, or bilious temperament, is recognized by black hair, dark skin, 
moderate fulness, firmness of flesh, harshly expressed outline of person, and 
■ strong, marked and decided features of countenance. The function par- 
takes of great energy of action, which extends to the brain. 

The fourth, or nervous temperament is distinguishable by fine thin hair, 
thin skin, small thin muscles, quickness of motion, pale countenance, and 
often delicate health. The whole nervous system, including the brain, is 
predominantly active, and the mental manifestations are proportionally 
vivacious. 

The temperaments depend upon the constitution of particular systems of 
the body. When the brain and nerves are predominantly active from con- 
stitutional causes, the nervous temperament is produced. An active consti- 
tution of the lungs, heart and blood-vessels, gives rise to the sanguine tem- 
perament ; of the muscular and fibrous systems, to the bilious temperament ; 
and of the glands and nutritive organs, to the lymphatic temperament. 

Upon the principle before stated, that size is a measure of power, brains 
may be expected to vary in their general size, in proportion to the degree of 
mental energy possessed. Our first object, therefore, ought to be to distin- 
guish the size of the brain generally, so as to judge whether it be large 
enough to admit of manifestations of ordinary vigor ; for if it be too small, 
idiocy is an invariable consequence. 

The second object should be to ascertain the relative proportions of the 
different parts, so as to determine the direction in which the power is 
greatest. If there is a greater quantity of brain behind the ear than in 
front, and if the base of the head is larger than the superior or upper part, 
it may be inferred that the lower faculties or propensities predominate. If 
measuring from the orifice of the ear to the top of the head, the height be 
large, then the moral faculties must be well developed. If the space from 
the ear to the eyebrows be long, the perceptive faculties are large ; and if 
the space from the ear not only to the eyebrows, but to the upper portion of 
the forehead is large, and the forehead is broad, in this case the reflective 
faculties will be found in great power and perfection. 

The terms which may be used to denote the gradations of size in the dif- 
ferent organs in an increasing ratio, are : very small, small, moderate, large, 
very large. 

Three rules may be laid down for estimating the effects of differences in 
relative size, occuring in the organs of the same brain. 

Rule I. — Every faculty desires gratification with a degree of energy pro- 
portionate to the size of its organ ; and those faculties will be habitually in- 
dulged, the organs of which are largest in the individual. 

If all the animal organs are large, and all the organs of the moral senti- 
ments and intellect small, the individual will be naturally prone to animal 
indulgence in the highest degree, and disposed to seek gratification in the 
directest way, and in the lowest pursuits. 



MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. 125 

If, on the other hand, the organs of the moral sentiments and intellect 
greatly predominate, the individual will be naturally prone to moral and 
intellectual pursuits : such persons are "a law unto themselves." 

Rule II. — As there are three distinct kinds of faculties, Animal, Moral, 
and Intellectual, it may happen, that several large animal organs are com- 
bined in the same individual with several moral and intellectual organs 
highly developed. The rule then will be, that the lower propensities will 
take their direction from the higher powers ; and such a course of action will 
be habitually followed, as will be calculated to gratify the whole faculties 
whose organs are large. 

If thn organs of Acquisitiveness and Conscientiousness be both large, 
stealing might gratify Acquisitiveness, but it would offend Conscientious- 
ness. According to the rule, the individual would endeavor to gratify both, 
by acquiring property by lawful industry. If both Combativeness and De- 
structiveness are large, and Benevolence and Conscientiousness as fully 
developed, wanton outrage and indiscriminate attack might gratify the first 
two faculties, but they would outrage the last two, and hence the individual 
would seek for situations calculated to gratify all four ; and these may be 
found in the ranks of an army embodied for the defence of the country ; or 
the same object may be obtained by moral and intellectual warfare against 
great corruption or abuse. Luther, Knox, and many other benefactors of 
mankind, were probably actuated by such a combination of faculties. 

If, in an individual, the cerebellum is very large, and Philoprogenitive- 
ness, Adhesiveness, and Conscientiousness deficient, he will be prone to the 
directest gratifications of the animal appetite : if the latter organs are large, 
he will perceive that wedlock affords the only means of pleasing the whole 
group of faculties. 

If Benevolence, Self-Esteem, and Acquisitiveness are all large, giving 
charity may gratify the first ; but unless the individual be very rich, the act 
of parting with property may be disagreeable to the two last faculties : he 
would therefore prefer to gratify Benevolence by personal kindness ; he 
would sacrifice time, trouble, influence, and advice to the welfare of others, 
but not property. If Benevolence were small, with the same combination, 
he would not give either money or personal service. 

The intellectual faculties will naturally tend to such employments as are 
calculated to gratify the predominant propensities and sentiments. If the 
organs which constitute a genius for painting are combined with large Ac- 
quisitiveness, the individual would paint to become rich ; if combined with 
Acquisitiveness small, and Love of Approbation large, he would probably 
labor for fame, and starve while attaining it. 

Rule III. — Where all the organs appear in nearly equal proportions to 
each other, the individual, if left to himself, will exhibit opposite phases of 
character, according as the animal propensities of moral sentiments pre- 
dominate for the time. He will pass his life in alternate sinning and repent- 
ing. If external influence is brought to operate upon him, his conduct will 
be greatly modified by it ; if placed, for instance, under severe discipline and 
moral restraint, these will cast the balance, for the time, in favor of the 
higher sentiments ; if exposed to the solicitations of profligate associates, 
the animal propensities will probably obtain triumphant sway.

THE ART OF FORTUNE-TELLIES BY CARDS, DOMINOES, AND DICE. 



Take a cle? t pack of cards, so that they cannot be known by marks or 
spots; then 1ft the person whose fortune is to be told, be blindfolded; let one 
of the company then shuffle the cards well; and another of the company cut 
them three times, and deal them out one by one on the table, with their faces 
downwards. The bandage must then be taken of! the blinded person, who 
must take up any one of the cards, when by examining the following rules, 
his or her true fortune may be known. 

CLUBS. 

Ace,— Is a letter, and promises great wealth, much prosperity in life, and 
tranquillity of mind. 

King.— Announces a man who is humane, upright, affectionate and faith- 
ful in all his engagements— he will be happy himself, and make every one 
with whom he has a connection so, if he can. 

Queen.— Shows a tender, mild, and rather amorous disposition; one that 
will probably yield her maiden person to a generous lover before the matri- 
monial knot be tied; but that they will be happy, love each other, and be 
married. 

Knave. — Shows a generous, sincere and zealous friend, who will exert 
himself warmly, for your interest and welfare. 

Ten. — Denotes great riches to come speedily from an unexpected quarter 
— but it also threatens that you will at the same time lose some very dear 
friend. 

Nine.— Shows that you will displease some of your friends by too steady 
an adherence to your own way of thinking — nor will your success in the un- 
dertaking reconcile them to you, or procure you your own approbation. 

Eight. — Shows the person to be covetous and extremely fond of money; 
that he will obtain it, but that it will rather prove a torment than a comfort 
to him, as lie will not make a proper use of it. 

Seven. Promises the most brilliant fortune, and the most exquisite bliss 
that this woild can afford; but beware of the opposite sex, from them alone 
you can experience misfortune. 

DIAMONDS. 

A ce. — Shows a person who is fond of rural sports, a great builder, and a 
gardener; one who delights in planting, and laying out groves, woods, shrub- 
beries, and other amusements, and that his enterprises of this nature will 
have success or disappointment according to the cards that are near it— 
likewise signifies a letter and a ring. 

KiNd. — Shows a man of fiery temper, preserving his anger long, seeking 
for opportunities of revenge, and obstinate in his resolutions. 

Queen. — signifies that the woman will not be a steady and 'ndustrious 
housekeeper; that she will be fond of company, be a coquette and not over 
virtuous 

Knave.— However nearly related,, will look more after his own interest 
than yours, he will be tenacious of his own opinion, and will fly off if con- 
tradicted. 

Ten.- Signifies a journey— promises a country husband, or wife with great 
wealth and many children; the card next to it will tell the number of chil- 
dren — it also signifies a purse of gold. 



128 MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. 

Nine.— Declares that the person will he of a roving disposition, never 
contented with his lot, and forever meeting with vexations and disappoint- 
ments. 

Eight. ^-Shows that the persons in their youth will be enemies to mar- 
riage, and thus run the risk of dying unmarried; but if they do marry, it 
will be late in life, and then it will be with a person whose disposition is so 
ill assorted to theirs, that it will be the cause of misfortunes. 

Seven.— Shows that you will spend your happiest days in the country, 
where if you remain, your happiness will be uninterrupted, but if you come 
to town you will be tormented by the infidelity of your conjugal partner, and 
the squandering of your substance. 

HEARTS. 

Ace. — Signifies merry-making, feasting, and good humor; if the ace be at- 
tended by Spades, it foretells quarrelling in your cups, and ill temper to your 
family, while you are in a state of intoxication; if by Hearts, it shows cordial 
affection between the parties; if by Diamonds, your feast will be from home, 
perhaps in the country; if by Clubs, the occasion of the meeting will be upon 
some bargain or agreement; if your ace of hearts is in the neighborhood of 
face-cards of both sexes, with Clubs near, it will be about a match-making; 
if all the face-cards are kings or knaves or both, it will concern the buying 
or selling of some personal property; if all queens, it will regard concilia- 
tions between parties; and if queens and knaves, it will be about the recon- 
ciliation and re-union of a married couple. 

King. — Shows a man of a fair complexion, of an easy and good natured 
disposition, but inclined to be hasty and passionate, and rash in his under- 
takings. 

Queen.— Shows a woman of a very fair complexion, or of great beauty; 
her temper rather fiery, verging on the termagant; one who Vll not make 
an obedient wife, nor one who will be very happy in her own reflection. 

Knave. — Is a person of no particular sex, but always the dearest friend 
or nearest relation of the consulting party, ever acting and intruding, 
equally jealous of doing harm or good, as the whim of the moment strikes; 
passionate and hard to be reconciled, but always zealous and warm in the 
cause of consulting party, though probably not according to their fancy, as 
he will be as industrious to prevent their schemes as to forward them, if 
they do not accord with his own disposition. 

You must pay great attention to the cards that stand near to the knave, 
as from them alone you can judge whether the person it represents will 
favor your inclinations or not. 

Ten.— Shows good nature, and many children — is a corrective to the bad 
tidings of the cards that may stand next to it; and if its neighboring cards 
are of good import, it ascertains and confirms their value. 

Nine. — Promises wealth, grandeur, and high esteem; if cards that are un- 
favorable stand near it, you must look for disappointment and a reverse; if 
favorable cards follow these last at a small distance, expect to retrieve your 
, losses, whether of peace or of goods. 

Eight. — Points out a strong inclination to get intoxicated; this if accom- 
panied with unfavorable cards will be attended with loss of property, decay 
of health, and falling off of friends; if by favorable cards, it indicates refor- 
mation and recovery from the bad consequence of the former. 

Seven. Shows the person to be of a fickle and unfaithful disposition, ad- 
dicted to vice and incontinence, and subject to the mean art of recrimi- 
nation to excuse themselves, although without foundation. 

SPADES. 

Ace.— Totally relates to affairs of love, without specifying whether law- 
ful or unlawful. 



MISCELLANE O US DEPAR TMENT. 129 

King. — Shows a man who is ambitious, and certainly successful at court 
or with some great man, who will have it in his power to advance him; but 
let him beware of a reverse. 

Queen. — Shows a person that will be corrupted by the great of both sexes 
— if she is handsome, great attempts will be made on her virtue. 

Knave. — Shows a person who, although they have your welfare at heart, 
will be too indolent to pursue it with zeal unless you take frequent oppor- 
tunities of rousing their attention. 

Ten. — Is a card of bad import; it will in a great measure counteract the 
good effect of the other cards; but unless it be seconded by other unfor- 
tunate cards its influence may be gotten over. 

Xine.— Is the worst card in the whole pack; it portends dangerous sick- 
ness, a total loss of fortune, cruel calamity, and endless dissension in 3'our 
family. 

Eight.— Shows that you will experience strong opposition from friends 
whom you imagine to be such. 

Seven.— Shows the loss of a most valuable friend, whose death will 
plunge you into very great distress.

130 MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. 

N. B. It is useless to draw more than three dominoes at one time of trial 
shuffle the dominoes each time of choosing; to draw the same domino twice 
makes the answer stronger. 



DIOR 

Take three dice, shake them well in the box with your left hand, then 
cast them out on a hoard or table on which you had previously drawn a 
circle with chalk, but never throw on a Monday or Wednesday. 

3 — A pleasing surprise. 

4 — A disagreeable one.

X. B. The answers to the dice are always fulfilled within nine days. To show 
the same number twice at one trial, shows news from abroad, be the numbers 
what they may. If the dice roll over the circle, the number thrown goes for 
nothing, but the occurrence shows sharp words, and if they fall to the floor, 
it is blows; in throwing out the dice, if one remains on the top of the other, 
it is a present. 



FORTUNE-TELLING BY THE GROUNDS OF TEA OR COFFEE, AND 
BY THE WHITE OF AN EGG. 



For this purpose we put the grounds of tea or coffee into a white cap. 
Shake them well about, so as to spread them over the surface; reverse the 
cup to drain away the superfluous contents, and then exercise your fertile 
fancy in discovering what the figures thus formed represent. 

The same can be done with a new-laid egg. Break the same, and care- 
fully separating the yolk from the white, drop the latter into a large tumbler 
half full of water; put this, uncovered, on a dry place, and leave it there un- 
touched for twenty-four hours, and the white of the egg will have formed 
into various figures.

Black extremities of the nails— is a sign of husbandry. 

Broad nails — show that the person is bashful and fearful, but of a gentle 
nature. When there is a certain white mark on the extremity of them, it 
shows that the person has more honesty that subtlety, and that his worldly 
substance will be impaired through negligence.

Little and round nails — denote obstinate anger and hatred. If they be 
crooked at the extremity, they show pride and fierceness.

reconciliation better than differences. 

Narrow nails— denote the person to be inclined to mischief, and to do in- 
jury to his neighbor. 

Oblique nails— signify deceit and want of courage. 

Pale and black nails— show the person to be very deceitful to his neighbor, 
and subject to many diseases.

desires. 

Bedness, of divers colors, at the beginning of the nails — shows the person

Bound nails— show a choleric person, yet soon reconciled, honest, and a 
lover of secret sciences.

den death, and the person to be given to melancholy.

The letters which compose this charm must be inscribed in a pyramidical 
form, as above, on the purest white beeswax, of the ordinary thickness, and 
of a size sufficiently large to admit of the letters being distinctly written by 
the individual who is sick; or if he is too sick, by his dearest friend next at 
hand. Use for writing them a pen made of the quill of a raven, and ink 
compounded of the smoke of a consecrated taper and rain water. Let the 
party who is afflicted of the disease, wear the charm hung round his neck,

inclosed in a bag of virgin parchment during the time that the moon per- 
forms one circuit through the twelve signs of the zodiac, and let it be com- 
menced on the day of the full moon. The wearer must have a firm faith in 
Divine Omnipotence, and repeat the letters of the talisman in some one of 
the different directions in which they may be read, daily. 

If it be required to perform a cure upon one at a distance, or without the 
afflicted party's knowledge thereof, write the talisman as above, and then 
you may perform the cure by scraping out one line or' the talisman every day 
with a new knife kept for the express purpose. At scraping out of taca. line 
say, "So as I destroy the letters of this talisman, Abracadabra, so, by virtue 
of this sacred name, may all grief and dolor depart from [here mention the 
name of the sick person]. So I destroy this disease. Amen." Many have 
healed divers diseases in this way; the disease wearing, little by little, away. 



CHARMS, SPELLS, SIGNS, ETC. 



HOW TO MAKE YOUR LOVER OR SWEETHEART COME. 

If a maid wishes to see her lover, let her take the following method: Prick 
the third or wedding ringer of your left hand with a sharp needle (beware a 
pin), and with the blood write your own and lover's name on a piece of clean 
writing paper, in as small a compass as you can, and encircle it with three 
round rings of the same crimson stream, fold it up, and exactly at the ninth 
hour of the evening bury it with your own hand in the earth, and tell no 
one. Your lover will hasten to you as soon as possible, and he will not be 
able to rest until he sees you, and if you have quarrelled to make it up. A 
young man may also try this charm, only instead of the wedding ringer, let 
him pierce the left thumb. 



THE CHARM WITH THE NINE KEYS. 

Get nine small keys: they must all be your own by begging or purchase; 
(borrowing will not do, nor must you tell what you want them for;) plait a 
three-plaited band of your own hair, and tie them together, fastening the 
ends with nine knots; fasten them with one of your garters to your left 
wrist on going to bed, and bind the other garter round your head; then pray to 

St. Petei-, show you in a dream, 
Who shall he your wedded love. 

This can be done on any evening, but it is best on the eve of St. Peter's 
day, and is an old charm used by the maidens of Rome in ancient time, who 
put great faith in it. 



CHARMS TO KNOW WHO YOUR HUSBAND SHALL BE. 

1.— This is to be attempted on the 21st of January, St. Agnes day. You 
must prepare yourself by a twenty-four hours fast, touching nothing bat 
pure spring water, beginning at midnight on the 20th, to the same again on 
the 21st; then go to bed, and pray to St. Agnes to let you see your husband, 
and you will dream of your future spouse: if you see more men than one in 
your dream, you will wed two or three times; but if you sleep and dream 
not, you will neve* marry. 



134 MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. 

2.— A slice of the bridecake thrice drawn through the wedding-ring, and 
laid under the head of an unmarried woman, will make her dream of her 
future husband. 



CHRISTMAS SPELL. 

During Christmas week, steep mistletoe berries, to the number of nine, in 
a mixture of ale, wine, vinegar, and honey; take them oil going to bed, and 
you will dream of your future lot;- a storm in this dream is very bad; it is 
most likely you will then marry a sailor, who will suffer shipwreck at sea; 
but to see either sun, moon or stars, it is an excellent presage; so are flowers; 
but a coffin is an index of a disappointment in love. 



LENT CHARM. 

To be tried on any Eriday in Lent, Good Friday excepted, when it is im- 
proper to try any thing of the kind, and the mind ought to be more seriously 
disposed. Vv 7 rite twelve letters of the common alphabet on separate pieces 
of card; also twelve figures, and the same number of blank cards; then put 
them in a bag and shake them well, and let each present draw one; a blank 
shows a single life; a figure, intrigue in love concerns; and a letter a happy 
inaniage. 



VALENTINE CHARM. 

If you receive one of those love tokens, and cannot guess at the party who 
sent it, or are in any doubt, the following method will explain it to a cer- 
tainty:— Prick the fourth finger of your left hand, and with a crow quill 
write on the back of the Valentine the day and hour in which you were 
born, and the date of the year; also of the present one, the moon's age, and 
the name of the present morning star, all of which you will find in the al- 
manac, and the sign into which the sun has entered. Try this on the first 
Friday after you receive the Valentine, but do not go to bed till midnight; 
place the paper in your left shoe, and put it under your pillow. 

The young woman will be sure to dream of the identical person who sent 
the Valentine, and to see the man who is to be her husband. 



THE LOVE-LETTER CHARM. 

On receiving a love-letter that has any particular declaration in it, lay it 
wide open, then fold it in nine folds, pin it next to your heart, and thus 
wear it till bedtime, then place it in your left-hand glove, and lay it under 
your head. If you dream of gold, diamonds, or any other costly gem, your 
lover is true, and means what he says; if of white linen, you will lose him 
by death; and if of flowers, he will prove false. If you dream of his saluting 
you, he means not what he professes, and will draw you into a snare. If 
you dream of castles or a clear sky, there is no deceit, and you will prosper: 
trees in blossom show children; washing or graves shows you will lose your 
lover by death; and water shows that your lover is faithful, but that you 
will go through severe poverty with the party for some time, though all 
may end well. 



MISCELLANE O US DEPAR TMENT. 135 

TO KNOW IF A WOMAN WITH CHILD WILL HA YE A GIRL 
OR A BOY. 

Write the proper names of the father and the mother, and the month she 
conceived with child— count the letters in these words, and divide the 
amount by seven, and then if the remainder be even it will be a girl, if 
uneven it will be a boy. 



TO KNOW IF A CHILD NEW-BORN SHALL LIYE OR NOT. 

Write the proper names of the father and the mother, and of the day the 
child was born: count the letters in these words, and to the amount add 
twenty-five, and then divide the whole by seven— if the remainder be even 
the child shall die, but if it be uneven the child shall live. 



TO KNOW HOW SOON A PERSON WILL BE MARRIED. 

Get a green pea-pod, in which are exactly nine peas, hang it over the door, 
and then take notice of the next person who comes in, who is not of the fa 
mily, nor of the same sex with yourself; and if it proves an unmarried indi 
vidual, you will certainly be married within that year. 



TO KNOW WHAT FORTUNE YOUR FUTURE HUSBAND 
WILL HAVE. 

Take a walnut, a hazel-nut, and a nutmeg, grate them together, and mix 
them with butter and sugar, and make them up into small pills, of which 
exactly nine must be taken on going to bed, and, according to your dreams, 
so will be the state of the person you will marry. If a gentleman, your 
dream will be of riches; if a clergyman, of white linen; if a lawyer, of dark- 
ness; if a tradesman, of odd noises and tumults; if a soldier or sailor, of 
thunder and lightning; if a servant, of rain. 



THE ACORN CHARM. 

This is to be tried on the third day of the month, between September and 
March. Let any number of young women (not exceeding nine, and mind- 
ing that there is an odd one in the company) assemble together, and each 
string nine acorns on a separate string, or as many acorns as there are fe- 
males in company, but not more; lap them round a long stick of wood, and 
place it in the fire just as the clock strikes twelve at night. Say not a word, 
but sit round the fire till all the acorns are consumed; then rake out the 
ashes, and retire to bed, and you will dream of your lover. 



CARD CHARMS. 

1. — Let three, five or seven young women stand in a circle and draw a 
card out of a bag; she who gets the highest card, will be married first of the 
company, whether she be at the present time maid, wife or widow, and she 
who has the lowest, has the longest time to stay ere the sun shines on her 
wedding-day; she who draws the ace of spades will never bear the name of 



136 MISCELLANEOUS DEPARTMENT. , 

wife; and she who has the nine of hearts in this trial, will have one over too 
many to her sorrow. 

2. — Select all the hearts and diamonds from the pack, put them in one of 
your stockings, and place them under your pillow any Friday night; as soon 
as you wake on Saturday morning, provided the fourth hour has struck, not 
else, draw a card; according to the number of pips, so many years will 
elapse before you appear at the altar of Hymen. Hearts show a loving 
husband, diamonds a rich husband or wife; the king shows that you will 
never marry; the queen a troublesome rival; the knave of diamonds, a fatal 
seduction; and the knave of hearts, early widowhood. 



SIGNS. 

TO CHOOSE GOOD HUSBANDS AND WIVES. 

1. If the party be of a ruddy complexion, high and full nosed, his eye- 
brows bending archwise, his eyes standing full, of a black and lively color, 
it denotes him good-natured, ingenious, and born to good fortune, and the 
like in a woman, if born under the planet Jupiter. 

2. If the party be phlegmatic, lean, and of a dusky complexion, given 
much to musing and melancholy, beware of such a one, of what sex soever. 

3. An indifferent wide mouth, and full cheek, smooth forehead, little 
ears, dark brown hair, and a chin proportionable to the face, is very pro- 
mising. 

4. An extraordinary long chin, with the under lip larger than the upper, 
signifies a cross-grained person, fit for little business, yet given to folly. 

5. A well-set broad chin in a man, his face being round and not too great, 
and a dimple or dent in a woman's cheek or chin, denote that they will 
come together and live happily, enjoying life to the blissful
